I Made Cousin's Grill Famous, He Gave $50 Bonus

I was the "guest performer" at my cousin Walter Butler's grill house.

With my looks and figure.

With professional singing and dancing, and a handful of other talents.

Single-handedly, I'd taken Walter's failing grill house and made it a hit.

Walter had promised me a hundred thousand as a year-end bonus.

But a few days ago, after his sister Blanche Butler showed up, Walter and his wife turned cold toward me fast.

That day, near evening, I was getting ready for the night's show.

Blanche came up smiling and handed me a fifty-dollar bill.
